I spent way too much time looking at elements today. In the end, I decided to go with a simple 4 element arcane system. I had considered things like having an "energy" element that would let you combine elements to make things like ice, magma, and lightning. (thread)

I also considered making those combinations unique to chaos and order casters. Chaos would have been something like ash, decay, poison, magma, and poison. Order would have been something like ice, lightning, snow, and thunder.

I think I'm just going to keep it simple for now though. I'll see how ideas develop from here and maybe revisit it.

Please excuse my really fancy attempt at a yin yang type image created in Excel.
